Answer: The correct answer is Option C.
Explanation: The heat required can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]q=mL[/tex]
where, q = heat required or released
m = mass of the substance
L = Latent heat
As, this process is the melting of ice, so latent heat of fusion is used:
[tex]H_2O(s)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(l)[/tex]
Latent heat of fusion for ice is 334 kJ/kg
Mass of the object = 347 grams = 0.347 kg (Conversion factor: 1kg = 1000 grams)
Putting the values in above equation, we get:
[tex]q=334kJ/kg\times 0.347kg\\\\q=115.9kJ\approx 116kJ[/tex]
Converting kilo-joules into joules, we use the conversion:
1 kJ = 1000J
So, q = 116000J
Hence, the correct option is 3.
